I am not sure what exactly triggered the panic attack. I think it was partly because I had just been through 4 very intense week taking care of the kiddo and traveling with him. Plus, there is the whole needing to go for a job. On top of it, my therapist is gone until september. All that had gotten my anxiety higher.
Then I was giving the kiddo his bath and I suddenly had a pain in my chest. I thought, "what if I am having a heart attack?", then I got very very anxious and I thought "Oh no, I am having a panic attack!" I tried to talk myself down and tried distracting myself. But I panicked big time.
Now I am just trying to get back on kilter.
I hate admitting it but I had to have my medications upped… And I am not functioning as well as I want to...
Smart thinking coming back here. You are not alone in this. Remember that relapses like these are expected and part of the recovery process. Everything you learned in the past is still there. This just means their might be a bit more learning to do or perhaps a bit of refreshing.
What triggered this panic attack? What do you think led up to it?
I have been a member on the Panic Center in the past. It had been a long while since I needed it. I had a panic disorder relapse.
Two days ago I had a panic attack and since then I keep fearing having another one. I have been taking too many anxiety pills as I don't feel like I can get through my day without them. I can't seem to do anything productive. I spend my days just trying to hang in there.
